I had a date with a civilian last night. My first date since wandering into the hobby. After two hours of listening to her talk about her recently-ex husband, her son who lives with her and doesn't have a job or go to school, her recent nightmare dates and her endless financial difficulties, I was left again wondering why I should want to get back into the dating scene, looking for a relationship.
Maybe it didn't help that I had a threesome the night before.
I guess I'm preaching to the choir here. Anyone out there actually want to "date"? If not, why not? If so, what are you doing here and what do want out of a girlfriend you can't get from a provider?
I'd be interested in hearing providers' views on this too.

I have been married three times, and have three families to show for it. Plus all of the inlays, children, step children, grandchildren etc. I wouldn't trade it for the world. The first two wives died, the third is now in ill health - so the hobby has been a great help during times of need.
The question is for the guys, what are your needs? Do you need sex, and a short time of relaxation. Sex is great when you have that from one woman who is also your partner. However, there are times, and there are other times.
When each of the first two wives passed, I could have had my pick of many women for "free". However, "free" brings with it the wide social circle of women talking to other women, and other women.
When a guy is dating, you need to think about a lot of things other than the woman you are going on a date with, a lot of other things. You need to think of how you, as a guy, controls the situation and if you truly enjoy the company of the women you date. That means - no sex until you are more sure of the ground upon which you play.

This should tell you you don't want to take her out again, even if the sex is free because you are tying an Albatross around your neck (from the poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner - 1834 by Samuel Taylor Coleridge; or do they still make kids read this in High School English Class?)
Girls in the hobby, don't follow us home after we leave; or at least they are not suppose to. You are not going to marry them. They best ones make you feel at home, and comfortable; and you may come back. The worst ones bitch, complain, ask for more money than first requested, etc. So, you don't come back.
The dating scene, or the hobby: neither one are the problem. The problem is trying to understand the individual woman you are with.
Good luck on that!
